Summerland
Rudy
Rudy
Portrayed By: Brad Mann
A powerful telekinetic known for blasting objects and enemies hundreds of feet away with a thought.
- Big Damn Heroes: He revives just in time to save Sydney and Kerry from being killed by the Shadow King.
- The Big Guy: Thanks to his telekinetic powers, he acts as this alongside Kerry.
- Chekhov's Gunman: He originally seems to have died, but manages to awaken at a crucial moment.
- Dying Moment of Awesome: After the Eye is killed, Rudy is released from Walter's paralysis in the Astral Plane - Rudy's immediate response is to tackle the Shadow King in the middle of murdering Sid and Kerry, ultimately giving David the opportunity to return everyone to the real world.
- Mauve Shirt: The only non-member of the main cast to join the mission to rescue David, and the first one to be taken out of it, stabbed by the Eye and left disabled in the astral plane. He does manage a Dying Moment of Awesome before succumbing to his wounds, however.
- Not Quite Dead: He seems to have died from being stabbed by The Eye, only to revive in the astral plane and save Sydney and Kerry.
- The Worf Effect: As shown in the first episode, he's a very physically powerful mutant, which is presumably why the Eye chose to put him out of commission first.
Division 3
As a whole
A government agency tasked with monitoring mutant activity and capturing (or eliminating) those deemed a threat.
- Expy: Of similar organizations of the X-Men comic books, most notably Weapon X.
- Government Conspiracy: They are secret division of the United States Government.
- Evil Wears Black: Their mooks wear all-black attire.
- Faceless Mooks: They wear face-concealing black-masks and goggles.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Their goal is to ensure the survival of regular humans in the face of the rise of mutants.
Admiral Fukyama
Admiral Fukyama
The Admiral and the Vermillions
Portrayed By: Marc Oka
The leader of Division 3.
- Culture Equals Costume
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: He seems fairly ruthless and unfeeling, though not sadistic, and describes himself as a "machine that bleeds".
- Cyborg: He tells David the he had a machine inserted into his brain and seems to be remote controlling a trio of what appear to be robotic women with mustaches.
- Dramatic Unmask: Clark, under the influence of the Delusions, forces him to remove his basket at gunpoint.
- Facial Horror: Ptonomy thinks the reason he wears a basket over his head is because it looks like a grownup version of the monstrous baby chicks that begin to appear in Season 2. This was a Delusion; he actually looks like an innocent old man with facial scars.
- The Faceless: He wears a basket over his head.
- The Speechless: Subverted in that he speaks quite clearly through the Vermillions.
- Voice of the Legion: Speaks through a group of Ambiguous Robots who tend to speak all at once in the same pleasantly electronic monotone
The Eye
Walter a.k.a. The Eye
Portrayed By: Mackenzie Gray
An agent of Division 3, assigned first to the interrogation of David, and later his sister. His actual name is Walter.
- '70s Hair: Sports a very curly afro.
- Combo Platter Powers: The Eye can see astral projections, disguise himself as others, and bullets can pass through him.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: On the receiving end from the Shadow King, who wads him up like a piece of paper. It is not pretty. And to make it worse, he's made to suffer it twice — first in the astral plane, and then in the real world as soon as that's over.
- Disc-One Final Boss: He survives the Division 3 massacre, but is killed by the Shadow King in the penultimate episode of the first season.
- The Dragon: To Brubaker, the head of Division 3. After David wipes out Division 3, Walter becomes this to the Shadow King in a way. The Shadow King even mentions that Walter and it agree on some things.
- The Dreaded: Melanie and Ptonomy are visibly disturbed when David reveals he's involved with the Division's attempt to find him.
- Hunter of His Own Kind: He has mutant abilities of his own but hunts down other mutants on behalf of Division 3.
- Eye Scream: One of his eyes pops out of its socket as the Shadow King crushes him to death.
- Evil Former Friend: He was acquainted with Cary, Melanie and Oliver when Summerland was first created.
- Implacable Man: Ptonomy shoots him from close range in episode 4, and can only stare at his gun in disbelief when The Eye keeps coming. He's only stopped when Syd uses her powers to swap bodies and knock him out while he's trapped in hers. Syd is then briefly knocked out when David causes the Division van to crash, not realizing she is now in The Eye's body.
- I See Them, Too: The Eye is able to see David and Syd when they're using the Astral Plane to spy on the Division's interrogation of Amy.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: He's called The Eye, and may be the most terrifying character outside of the Devil and the Angriest Boy. Even if you're on the Astral Plane he can still see you.
- Psychic Powers: Appears to have this to some extent. Not only could he see David and Syd while being projected, he was also able to knock Ptonomy out with a touch, and successfully masquerade as Dr. Poole and Rudy.
- Sadist: He takes great pleasure in inflicting pain, due to being bullied in his childhood for developing slower than the rest.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Somewhat. While the Shadow King keeps him around in the astral plane, the Eye really doesn't do much other than menace Kerry and Sydney before it decides to kill him anyway.
- Your Mind Makes It Real: The Shadow King kills him by crumpling him up into a ball in the Astral Plane, which causes him to crumple up into a ball in the real world shortly after.
Brubaker
Brubaker
Portrayed By: David Selby
A member of Division 3 and superior to Clark and the Eye.
- Disc-One Final Boss: He's set up initially as the Big Bad and main antagonist, only for the Shadow King to slaughter him and most of his men in Chapter 5.
- Mythology Gag: His name seems to be a reference to Ed Brubaker, who was writer of Uncanny X-Men.
- Non-Action Big Bad: Of the three members of Division 3 show so far, he's has the most authority, but doesn't take action himself, preferring to act throughj the Eye and Clark.

Spoiler Character
Charles Xavier
Portrayed By: N/A
An powerful psychic-mutant and David's biological father who years ago gave him up for adoption after realizing that the Shadow King intended to come after his newborn son.
- Ambiguous Situation: Everything we know comes from David's own conclusions and theories which itself is based on the theories of others. We don't know where Xavier is or what's he doing, we don't know if he has his school or the X-Men, nor if he's even still alive given his counter-part's current status in the comics.
- Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Years ago, Charles defeated The Shadow King in a psychic battle that left the more sinister mutant in a weakened defeated state. Afterwards, Charles gave David up due to realizing that the Shadow King would come after his newborn son out of revenge and so left him with the Hallers.
- The Faceless: The only indication of who he is, is thanks to a memory of Amy's which shows a brief shot of a wheel-chair wheel with an 'X' in its design.
- The Ghost: There was absolutely nothing besides hopes from the fans that he even existed in the Legion Universe, the first hint being in Episode 6 before getting a shot of a familiar wheel-chair wheel with an 'X' in the design.
- Greater-Scope Paragon: He was the one to defeat The Shadow King years ago to the point that years later, he's still in a weakened state even after feeding off of David's abilities for decades. It's still to be seen if Prof X still runs that school he's so famous for...
- Pstandard Psychic Pstance: In the chakboard dramatization of his battle with Shadow King.
- Unexpected Character: Even ignoring Flip-Flop of God, no-one thought that Prof. X would make an appearance due to the films until Episode 7.
